In parallel, agendas for the DCMI meetings preceding the Seminar are being developed by the DCMI Bibliographic Metadata Task Group and the DCMI Vocabulary Management Community. The venue for both days is the British Library, St. Pancras, London. We wish to bring you up to date with the detail of the Seminar and meetings so that you can prepare for early registration, as places are limited. While still awaiting a few confirmations, we are pleased to announce a preliminary list of speakers for the Seminar, which includes: Barbara Tillett, Joint Steering Committee for the Development of RDA (JSC) Robina Claphan, Europeana Mirna Willer, IFLA ISBD Review Group Patricia Riva, IFLA FRBR Review Group Thomas Baker, DCMI Gordon Dunsire, IFLA Namespaces Technical Group and DCMI Diane Hillmann, DCMI and Metadata Management Associates Owen Stephens, JISC The London Meeting of 31 April/1 May 2007 stimulated significant development of Semantic Web representations of the major international bibliographic metadata models, including IFLA’s Functional Requirements family and the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), and MARC as well as RDA itself. Attention is now beginning to focus on the management and sustainability of this activity, and the development of high-level semantic and data structures to support library applications. Registration for the Seminar has been set at GBP 120 (including VAT), which includes lunch and refreshments for two breaks. The DCMI meetings are free and open to anyone, but we have very limited space and will require registration. The DCMI meetings on the 26th will begin at 9:30, beginning with the Bibliographic Metadata Task Group [1] from 9:30-12:30 and the Vocabulary Management Community [2] from 14:00-17:00. The Seminar on the 27th begins at 9:00.

[CODE4LIB] Anyone using marc2solr?
A while ago I released the software I've been using for solr indexing as marc2solr (and related gems). I'm planning on starting over from the ground up, butwell, I really like the name. :-) Is there anyone out there actually *using* marc2solr besides me, in a way that would make repurposing the github/rubygem name a bad idea? I know in general it's a good idea to not do that, but I have a feeling this is essentially an internal project that happens to be exposed on the public web. [Note: I'm pretty sure a flame war about reusing old github/gem names isn't a great use of anyone's time.] -Bill- -- Bill Dueber Library Systems Programmer University of Michigan Library

[CODE4LIB] Expectations for count queries
In the various bundles of good ideas that represent result set standards in the library and greater world, apart from the atom/opensearch totalResults element, is there an expectation of how one should package a number when that is *all* that is being requested? Use Case: dear dataset: if I asked you for steamboat records, how many would you send me? signed: curious dear curious: 12 signed: dataset I'm inclined to return just the number as Content-Type: text/plain. Clearly the semantics of the query string require a mutual understanding, but that's not my specific concern here. Walter

Re: [CODE4LIB] Expectations for count queries
If you're not using any sort of standard request protocol, I'm not sure it matters to use a standardized response protocol. I mean, you could wrap the answer in a JSON string (which would give you a little more flexibility as far as error conditions, etc. as well as typing the integer), but, since this seems to be an internal thing (is that right?) it's completely at your discretion as to how it should work. -Ross.

[CODE4LIB] Stanford metadata analyst job opening
We're looking for a metadata specialist to focus on data set description and management as part of campus-wide GIS and research data curation projects. A summary of the position is below, and the full description is online at jobs.stanford.edu (search for Job ID 46849). - Tom /shamelessly cross-posted Metadata Analyst, Stanford University Libraries Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources (SULAIR) is looking for a Metadata Analyst to help curate datasets from selected domains, with a primary focus on describing these information resources to enable management, preservation, discovery and re-use. The goal of this hands-on position is to advance SULAIR’s capacity and the Stanford response to the NSF Data Management Plan mandate by developing strategies through practice to curate data efficiently and effectively. The candidate will, over the course of a 2-year term project, work across the Digital Library Systems and Services group, other staff in the Metadata Unit, and user-facing library personnel to create and sustain a general workflow for submission of science and engineering data into the Stanford Digital Repository. Working with pilot data sets and use cases from GIS and other domains, the selected candidate will help produce and enter the metadata necessary to populate the repository and access systems. In doing so, s/he will also produce a landscape view of the metadata needs, roles, tools, standards and processes necessary to provide and scale data services throughout the Stanford University Libraries. Standard operating procedures and best practices for dealing with non-MARC metadata in the context of scientific data are ideal outcomes. The position will be supervised by the Science Data Librarian. Throughout the life of the project there will be opportunity for interesting sub-projects that will include: creating, remediating and working on ingest models for the Stanford Geoportal, an online search engine for geospatial data, and its supporting Spatial Data Infrastructure; working with Stanford faculty and researchers to acquire, transform and ingest the metadata for their data into the Stanford Digital Repository; working with other metadata experts on in-depth examination of data-set- and domain-specific schema, mappings and crosswalking amongst standards; and data transformations across library systems. For each of these, the Metadata Analyst will apply expertise, methods and tools to digital materials deposited by Stanford researchers into the Stanford Digital Repository. S/he will also help identify requirements and specifications for, and validate development of, a next generation metadata toolkit for the description of data sets and geospatial resources. S/he will also assist in specifying the fields and attributes for domain-specific forms for the deposit of digital resources into a Hydra-based Stanford Digital Repository user interface. Projects will be decided based on faculty interest, subject specialist availability, the interests and skill set of the applicant, and needs as they emerge. To apply for the position, please go to jobs.stanford.edu and search for Job ID 46849.
